Hi,
I submitted my BCG London associate application yesterday through a referral link, and I was wondering how long it usually takes to receive the quant screening test. Do all applicants receive it? When I applied to Bain, I received the screening tests within 12 hours of my submission. Should I be worried I have not received anything from BCG yet?
Thanks!
Hi can you share what kind of quantitive test you had to go through?
Similar to SHL, business related (charts, calculations etc.), or like the old version of GMAT quant (speed, math games). Thanks
Hi there,
It could come as quick as a few days or take as long as several weeks.
To prep, continue your general case prep (this knowledge helps so much), and then, if/when you get the assessment, grab one of the practice tests from Francesco or MConsultingPrep.
you're not out of the running yet (but always hope for the best but prepare for the worst).
Fingeres crossed for you!
Congrats!
Really, it can take anything from 1 day to 3 weeks.
Since this is recruiting season they're a bit more busy than usual. So it can take longer than you might expect. Don't read too much into it though. Just keep on applying to other firms while you wait to hear back from current applications.
Best of luck!
Cristian

Hi there,
There is no fixed time for screening responses. They usually take around 1-2 weeks. You can kindly ask a recruiting contact if it takes longer.
In parallel, I suggest you develop a broader application strategy including more consulting firms to diversify risk.
Good luck!
Alberto
